[Bug 1800500] [NEW] Default Crop mode is confusing

 

Public bug reported:

>From https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/issues/68

Steps to reproduce:
 - Open an image in Shotwell with default config.
 - Select Crop tool
 - Select area to crop, try to drag crop area horizontally.

What was actually happening

Crop tool uses Square mode by default, which prevents horizontal
adjustment. This is an astonishing behaviour.


The expected behaviour

When I crop an image, the crop tool uses Unconstrained mode by default.
This is the sane default, found in every other image editor I have used.
